Learn how Kubernetes and Google Cloud were used to burst and extend the capacity of a physical infrastructure for optimizing almost 10 million images in less than two weeks

Description

Mike Newswanger explains how he used Kubernetes and Google Cloud to burst and extend the capacity of a physical infrastructure for optimizing almost 10 million images in less than two weeks. The process was running 3,600 parallel streams with near 100% compute utilization. Mike offers an overview of the infrastructure design, implementation process, performance analysis, and problems encountered along the way. He also shares real-world examples of how cloud compute resources and containers can boost the throughput of a traditional organization.
